Lets look at some real insincere racists: rich liberal democrats. They
support multi-generational welfare, affirmative action, race based
quotas and set-asides, etc. yet refuse to send their kids to public
schools, move out of communities that become increasingly integrated
(the phenomenon called 'white flight') and if their kids fall in love
with a minority person, they are either disowned, or the future spouse
is forced to sign prenupital agreements.
While the public policies they espouse APPEAR to be anti-racist, they
are in fact rather deviously racist in that they enforce the ghetto life
on minorities, perpetuating economic disparities and segregation.
When accused of being racist, they say "I'm not racist, all of my
servants are minorities."
